Fill with water to below the level of the top (which is actually the bottom) of the bowl, bring up to a rolling simmer, put in the dish with the dim sums on it, and cover with the lid. Or even more easily, put a colander inverted into the bottom of a stock pot and put the dish on top and cover.

Thank you for that tidbit! I can definitely do the colander version or can pick up some chopsticks for the other one. That's what I like here! You ask a question and someone will give information on ways to do it at home without buying yet another gadget. Thanks!
